Yes, there was:

While I'll agree that it would be nice to see a list of changes posted
here as they happen, I don't think this is strictly necessary, that's
what the very well detailed changelog is for. Once you've checked
speakup out from git, switch to the directory with the sources, and
do:
git log
and you'll want to pipe that through your favorite pager of
course. If you get speakup as a package from your distribution's
repository, then there should be a changelog included with your
package. To summarize, while it would be nice to see a list of changes
posted here periodically, if it comes down to the development team
spending time on duplicating already existing information, or instead
spending that time on fixing bugs/implementing new features, I'd
rather see the developers use that time to do the latter personally.
